Essentia

Essentia is a Canadian made mattress company that offers a variety of luxury natural and organic foam mattresses. Think latex, but with an interesting spin. Essentia has developed a new kind of latex-derivative that they have termed 'natural memory foam' that operates like memory foam, but is entirely naturally made from the milk from rubber trees. This process is expensive, which is reflected in the prices of the mattresses, but still is a must-look for those looking for an all-natural, comfy mattress.

Nolah

Nolah is a 2016 mattress entrant with a new response to the memory foam mattress. Nolah crafted its very own foam, called Nolah AirFoam™. Its innovation is that it retains less heat than other memory foam or common 'visco elastic' foams. It also has less pressure than even high end memory foam, meaning that it is easier on the hips and shoulders. Nolah's testers say it is also more durable and great for side sleepers. With 2 different mattress options and 7% of profits going to wildlife adoption, Nolah is a brand anyone can feel good about!

Based on our aggregated reviews and our scoring method, we recommend Nolah in this match up!

These mattresses do well with support vs many other competitors. Their materials do a solid job at aligning the spine and reviewers report feeling comfortable. These mattresses offer even support throughout the surface layers and don't report many issues with sagging over a short horizon.

Edge SupportEdge support is an important detail when you are sitting on the side of your bed and are looking for even support. These mattresses do a good job providing edge support for sleepers.

Bowling Ball & Density TestsResting a bowling ball on the mattress is a good way to measure support and firmness. Customers report that these mattresses are evenly supportive throughout.

Nolah's Durability

It's a big win financially if your mattress is super durable and remains comfortable. It's one more reason why longevity is so important for mattress buyers. That said, not all brands care about the same thing. In spite of that, great products still are being built by good brands. These mattresses are enjoyed by customers for their durability. These mattresses should do well for you unless you have a bigger build or use the mattress more than average.

Best bed I have ever purchased.

I did a great deal of research looking for a new mattress. I always wanted to try a memory foam mattress. Did a great deal of testing and ended up with the queen size Classic 8 in January 2017. I was buying this mattress for our spare room to test it out because my wife and I were looking for a mattress for our king size bed. I tried it the first night and felt it was one of the best sleeps Imhave had in years. No waking up to back pain or stiffness. I convinced my wife to try it and we have been sleeping in the spare room on the Classic 8 ever since. We have just ordered the Classic 8 for our king size bed. I have also been telling my friends if they are looking for a new mattress to try an Essentia mattress. Thanks Essentia!

Ready to conquer the day each morning

It didn’t even occur to me how important sleeping on a natural mattress was until I learned about Essentia. I am now a proud owner of a Classic 8 and have no doubt my Essentia mattress is the reason I feel that much more replenished and ready to conquer the day each morning.

According to my Fitbit i slept 9hrs 10min!

I just wanted to share with you how much longer i slept on Friday night according to my Fitbit. My first night sleeping on my new essentia mattress.....9 hrs 10 min! I usually average 4 - 6 hours including nap time!

Great purchase

From the moment I contacted essentia via phone, the customer care has been fantastic. All my questions and concerns were answered promptly & courteously. I was told there was an Essentia showroom nearby so my wife and I went to the Toronto store to test out the different models. The staff member (Paul) was very helpful and not at all pushy, nor did he put any pressure on us to buy a mattress. He just let us test out each mattress for as long as we wanted,and answered all our questions regarding the pros and cons of all makes and styles of mattresses. We decided on the Classic 8. It was delivered quickly and was easy to set up. So far we are very happy with our purchase. It is both firm and pressure relieving which is exactly what we were looking for. Since then we have ordered a Tatami twin bed for our young toddler son from the same store. Kelli,the salesperson we dealt with for that purchase was also very helpful and kind. Overall a truly great buying experience with both mattresses. Thanks Paul & Kelli!

Best mattress

It's now been 5 years and we still love our mattress. I recommended the classic 8 to my parents and they say it's the best sleep they've had. Just make sure to have a solid firm base. We initially started with box springs but once the fabric stretches out you can feel this with the mattress. We put plywood and it's been great and still breathable.

We saw immediate improvemen

Finally we bought a classic 8, my only regret, that I WAITED so long! my wife was waking up with brutal backpain for years...with the classic 8 we saw immediate improvement...I too am sleeping much better, and better all the time! one of my best purchases to date.

The "coolest" bed ever!

I love my Classic 8 bed......it has a cooling effect which is important at this time in my life when I get "night sweats." It's the difference between sweating in a sticky polyester shirt and wearing a soft cotton shirt where you can breathe. I love the firmness, the natural smell and feel of the mattress. I don't live near a store, so I bought it without trying the mattress. The only downside is now I find it hard to sleep in other beds when I go away. I have such good sleeps on my Classic 8 Essentia bed.

Literally the Best Purchase I've Ever Made!

Wow, wow, wow! This bed is out of this universe!! Within the first 10 minutes of laying down on this mattress when it arrived to my place, I knew this was the best purchase I've made. I could literally feel my body relaxing and decompressing and I can even lay flat on my back (something that I could never do before because of pressure on my lower back)! I felt like I was falling asleep at a spa. I encourage everyone to get invest in their health and happiness and get this bed. While it's hard to leave bed because it is so bliss, it is easier to get up in the morning because I feel so refreshed. Very happy!

Not being able to try before I buy.

Living far away from any store location, I was concerned about not being able to try before I buy. After reviewing alI the information available I was convinced this was the right choice for me and my family. It absolutely was, Essentia makes a wonderful organic product; relieving the majority of my husbands sleep woes. We will be returning customers! Thanks for representing your products in an accurate, clear and descriptive manner. A bedtime revolution, Thank you Essentia!

The only thing that disturbs our sleep is our cat!

We love our essentia mattress and pillows. I was having such restless sleeps because of pressure on my shoulders and hips. Now the only thing that disturbs our sleep is our cat!

I tell everybody I know.

We love our Classic 8. Life changing. You will never want to sleep anywhere else again. I tell everybody I know, one of the best purchases I've ever made.

The investment was well worth it!

My husband and I are thrilled with the purchase of our Classic 8 mattress five months ago. We have never slept better! As a person who had a motorcycle accident two years ago and have struggled to sleep on my hips since... the Classic 8 has allowed me to get restful nights. The investment was well worth it! And as a bonus, we are comforted by the fact that we are not breathing in toxic fumes throughout our nights. Thank you Essentia!

Thank you for the gift of sleep!!!

We got the classic 8 mattress and comfort pillows from Essentia and we have never slept better! Thank you for the gift of sleep!!!

Couldn't ask for anything better.

The classics 8 mattress (and ergo pillow) is the best ever to sleep on. So super comfortable! The product is natural and eco friendly. Couldn't ask for anything better. 10 stars!

Took some time to get used to.

Our Sales Associate was very helpful and very personable. She made our shopping experience very easy and stress free. The mattress arrived on time with some damage to the shipping box, but no damage to the mattress itself. Being our first organic memory foam mattress, it took some time to get used to sleeping on it but is definitely more supportive than our old spring mattress. There is little to no odor/off-gassing smells like other memory foam mattresses which was one of our biggest concerns with memory foam. Overall we are happy with our purchase and would recommend purchasing from Essentia. I wish they sold the water proof cover as well.

I will be an Essentia customer from now on.

I love my Classic 8! It is so fabulous, I can't wait to crawl into bed at the end of the day. I recommend Essentia to anyone and everyone looking for a bed. I love that it is a natural option and there is no nasty toxic flame retardants on it. I will be an Essentia customer from now on! Even the experience of trying the mattresses in the Santa Monica showroom was a fun and relaxing experience.

We love it!

We bought an Essentia mattress since I have an achy back and I liked the use of non-toxic natural materials. The Classic 8 was the right choice for us. We love it! Now that I'm pregnant and mainly sleep on one side at night, it is also great for absorbing pressure and not making me wake up with a numb side.

I have slept well ever since.

I cannot say enough about this product. I purchased the Classic 8 about 10 months ago...I have slept well ever since.

We have told all our friends.

My husband & I bought a Classic 8 Essentia Mattress last year and couldn't be happier! We appreciated the no pressure sales approach while we laid down on every mattress in the store. It has given us a good night's sleep ever since. We have told all our friends. It seems many are displeased with the other brands as we were. Essentia rocks!

His hip doesn't hurt any more.

We are so pleased with our purchase of the Classic 8. It's a comfort to know we (and sometimes our children) are sleeping on a natural surface that does not offgas. My husband has also noticed that his hip doesn't hurt any more at night since we purchased our mattress. We will definitely buy the kids Essentia mattresses once they are ready to move into bigger beds.

I feel better every morning.

I have never been able to sleep on my back, until my Classic 8. Now with my spine aligned, I feel better every morning. I also have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, because I am so comfortable. I have begun to start my work day before even leaving bed!

Back and sacrum pain are gone.

The classic 8 is amazing. We love our bed, we love to travel but we hate to leave our bed and we always miss it while we are gone. Back and sacrum pain are gone; no waking your sweetie when you get up. Treat yourself!!! Any bed by this company is bound to be incredible:))

It feels amazing.

We couldn't be happier with our bed!! It feels amazing and holds its shape like no other. Strongly recommend this product and looking forward to new ones bring designed!!! Thank you!!!

I used to really struggle with sleeping.

The Classic 8 changed my life. As someone with chronic pelvic and hip pain, I used to really struggle with sleeping and often felt more pain after waking up. I sleep soundly in my Essentia bed and am so comfortable - I never thought this would be possible!

No more joint pain for me!

We love our Classic 8! Very soothing and comforting for my husband's back. No more joint pain for me! Extremely important to me that it is all natural and made in Canada. Thank you!

Great company, great customer service.

I love this mattress. I first saw Essentia on at work on Dragons' Den, as I'm sure a lot of you did as well, and I checked it out. As a shift worker, my sleep patterns are all over the place, and as an already poor sleeper, this mattress has been a great help to my night life. I strongly recommend checking this company out. I few months after i purchased this mattress, they had a deal for 2 free pillows (with mattress purchase) and after i contacted them they were more than happy to let me in on the deal. Great company, great customer service.

Never sleeps hot.

Love my bed look forward to falling into it every night! it never sleeps hot always just perfect.this bed is simply indulgent.

Always look forward to coming home

I love my classic 8. I travel a lot and always look forward to coming home to sleep in my bed.

I have my best sleeps on my Classic 8

I have the best sleeps on my Classic 8. Never could imagined a bed could be this comfortable.

No more back pain

I experienced significant back pain with a previous spring mattress, and a couple years ago purchased a Tempurpedic. The mattress was awesome, I thought....My wife was experiencing serious chest pain after purchasing the mattress, and after doing some research discovered that Tempurpedic is constructed from petroleum, which links to heart pain. We were astonished and immediately went back to our lumpy mattress. I was discouraged because my back pain came back after using the memory foam and assumed there were no options for my wife. We eventually discovered Essentia, purchased a mattress and I'm oh so happy once again. My back pain has subsided, I sleep deeply each evening and my wife's chest pain has been eliminated. We also purchased two more Essential mattresses for our children.

Essentia found a new lifetime customer!!!

This mattress is great! I was really nervous purchasing online since we have never been to a showroom. We wanted to go with the lower profile design and are so happy we did! Neither my husband or myself have had issues bottoming out, even when crawling on it (my husband is 195 lbs). The mattress is so comfy...the perfect amount of support and comfort. When mattress shopping at traditional stores, we always gravitated towards the medium feel...this was even better than any other options we had tried! Plus we didn't need to let it air out!!! There was little smell when it came out and we knew it was safe :) I am so relieved and satisfied...essentia found a new lifetime customer!!! If you're in the market for a new mattress and are looking for a more natural route, give them a try! All the reviews are true and this is really the best thing I've done for myself in a long time :)

Return of Funds: 45 Days and Counting

My rating is based upon an experience that may not be typical but worth sharing (and considering). We searched and compared mattresses for several months. We returned to stores to keep trying the mattress for longer amounts of time. Essentia was a winner. We purchased an Energie Opus from the Seattle store. Now the bad part: The mattress had an odor. An odor we could not mitigate after trying everything recommended. The odor was not present in any of the mattresses we tried in the Essential Store. It was so bad we ended up sleeping in a downstairs bedroom and arranging a return to Canada. The pick up went smoothly but things ground to a halt. The commitment on the Essentia site (in writing) is a return of funds would take "up to 45 days". It has been over 50 days and several calls to the Customer Service Rep has generated promises that I would receive a call from Accounting. Nothing so far. No way to run a business.

Life changing,truly!!

I love my new Nola mattress! This mattress is truly a life changer for me and my husband. We are so happy we purchased the Nola mattress because we both sleep much better at night. I often suffered from hot flashes at night and would put the covers on and take them off covers on and off, too and turn all night. Now I sleep much cooler and in a deeper sleep and I feel much more rested the next day. I would rate the firmness as a 4-5 on scale 1-10. I like the softness and I still feel supported. No more left hip pain. I also sleep on my back at times and I wake with no backaches. Another advantage is the liberal return policy of 120 days and free pickup if you are dissatisfied. We have owned it for 3weeks. One doesn't know how well you will like a mattress until you sleep on it for a week or so. We liked the Nolah from the first night with no break in period. Our previous mattress was a memory foam with a latex topper and slept very hot and I could not return it after trying it out for a couple weeks. the Nola does not sleep hot. I would highly recommend viewing online videos to visualize the softness. that's what I did and found that I was very happy with this purchase.

Can't explain it

So far I think so good, and getting better. First night was awesome, but then I went through a few nights of growing pains and getting adjusted. Went from an old 13-ish year old typical pillow top. But I think I'm getting used to the Nolah and starting to love it. No tossing and turning to get comfortable...I just am comfy. I am a side sleeper and it's weird just like it says no pressure points, I don't get how it works but I LOVE that. I go to bed with a sore back and wake up with no pain, first time in months. The shopping experience was painless and easy. Only thing is I think I thought I'd be a little cooler, I'm by no means hot but am just a little warmer than I was before, but it's not affecting my sleep....might try different sheets......Plus I love my polar bear haha :)

Try It!

We have had the mattress for about a month. It took a couple of weeks to adjust but now sleeping well and the pain I had in my hips is slowly reducing.. so Yea!!! Awesome customer service btw!

Like sleeping on a cloud

This is the best bed ever. It forms to the body for a perfect snug fit I fall into the bed, as if I was on a cloud. Big smiles!

Animal Mattress!!!

I love this mattress. I get night sweats really bad and this has really helped! I also work nightshifts and this is way better than my other mattress. As for the shopping experience i was super excited to donate to an animal of my choice!

Cuddled by a mattress

My husband and I love it. I feel snuggled in and yet it is supportive. The customer service I would rate super-excellent. Wonderfully communicative people. We are both getting a more restful sleep and one of the biggest surprises is that a very bad side pain I was waking up with when we had our other foam mattress has gone away since I have been on the Nolah. I didn't relate it to the mattress and even complained to my doctor about it. He couldn't find anything wrong. Now since sleeping on our Nolah it has gone away. Wow, I put up with that pain for months. It is also easy to roll over on it and you don't sleep hot as we did with our other foam mattress. Easy to lift to put sheets on. Its not a heavy monstrosity as our old foam was. Everything about the Nolah a A . A great mattress for a very reasonable price. We are thankful to own it.

The Nolah mattress was instantly comfortable and supportive.

I have had hip and lower back pain from hours of sitting from being in school for the last year. My old bed was really contributing to the problem. The first night after I slept on the Nolah bed, I woke up with no radiating or aching hip pain. I still have the popping in and out and uncomfortableness in my right hip, but I know that the bed has completely resolved the radiating pain I was used to feeling every morning. The only complaint I had with the bed was how hot it sleeps, which through research I have found is normal for any foam bed. I resolved this problem with a breathable plush bamboo mattress pad that allows for air flow between me and the mattress.

Very comfortable option

I was sleeping on a much cheaper foam mattress prior to the Nolah. I also used the reliable fast shipping to make my move across the country easier: I got rid of my old mattress, and ordered my Nolah delivered to my new house. One less thing to move. After 3 weeks of sleeping on the Nolah, I have to say it is MUCH more comfortable than my previous mattress. The materials just feel much higher quality.

Ahhhhh mazing Sleep

This mattress is like a dream. My husband and I are getting some really wonderful sleep, which is a miracle due to the fact we have two young children! We did tons of research and were so skeptical about receiving a mattress via mail. I cannot tell you how happy we are with our purchase. We say every night, "I love our mattress!" It's been a great investment. Thanks for helping us get our sleep back!!!

Best sleep

Since getting the nolad mattress I have the best sleep I have had in years. Being a side sleeper it been hard to get comfortable to have real restful sleep, until now!

No more back pain.

I like to sleep on my side and this mattress works for side sleepers. It doesnt sleep hot which is good cause i like to sleep in the cold. the only problem so far was the initial smell when i opened the mattress from the plastic but i guess that cant be helped.

GOOD LUCK NOT OVER SLEEPING

We love this mattress. Easy to buy online. We sleep much better and for longer. Highly recommend. Came on a Friday and slept on it that night! No box spring needed. I built a wood frame and a drawer system under it.

Nolah s Ark

my mattress a river fast as promised,my wife and myself sleep on our sides and out last mattress was so warn out we had a concave hoke in the center...you could literally roll from the edge into the middle On our first night we woke sore all over,but that come from the many nights of sleeping on a bad mattress,,,over the past few weeks the sleep has gotten better,and I'm sure once our body get use to the new mattress we will enjoy many nights of restful sleep

Comfy

The whole Nolah experience was comfortable. Information on the website about the mattress was accurate. The shipping box was easy to manage. Now, the Nolah mattress is the most comfortable mattress in the house and everyone wants to sleep on it!

Love my Nolah

I love my new Nolah bed. I have been sleeping on it for several weeks and it is very, very comfortable. I go to sleep more quickly and stay asleep longer since I got it. I told my sister about it and she ordered one and also loves it. The shopping was easy and the bed came within one week. Setup was quick and easy. Wish I'd gotten it sooner!

No regrets!

My partner and I are both wildland firefighters so getting a good night of comfortable sleep is important to us. I finally bit the bullet and bought a brand new mattress for the first time in my life. Nolah is a serious game changer! Getting it shipped straight to the house was awesome. We've been sleeping on it for about a month and I wish I didn't have to work so much so I could stay in bed all day!

Sidesleeper's Delight

Shopping experience was no hassle. Make sure you look for a promo code. I wouldn’t buy thru Amazon, only 30 day return. Nolah.com is 90 day. I am 2 weeks in and I still enjoy it. My wife gets up at 4 am and I don’t realize it at all. I actually sleep less hours because I am getting such good sleep, no joke.

I don't know what it's like to sleep on a cloud, but my Nolah must be close.

I must admit I was apprehensive about buying a foam mattress. I was concerned about the reputation foam mattresses have for trapping body heat. As it turns out, I needn't have worried, as my Nolah sleeps as cool as my old coil spring mattress. I'm a side sleeper, so for years I've suffered from shoulder pain and numbness through the night, resulting in restless night's of tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position. No more! My Nolah mattress cradles my shoulder perfectly. No critique would be complete without mentioning how convenient the "mattress-in-a-box" concept is. From the moment it was delivered until it was set up and ready for a "test nap" was literally a matter of minutes. I don't know how my Nolah experience could be improved. The word "perfect" falls short.

Enjoying retirement

There's a ton of online mattress companies to choose from, and it's scary to think about buying a mattress before trying it out. Don't worry your sleepy little head, Nolah has your back (supported just how you like it). You won't even need to use their gracious return policy. Everything from ordering to opening was a breeze, and it sleeps like a dream. Once you get your Nolah mattress, there's no looking back. In fact, the only thing you'll be looking at is the back of your eyelids. Rest easy.

Three weeks in and sleep is better

Sleep and mattresses are a highly individualized experiences so I'll stick to the objective side. Nolah said five days and we had it in 5 days. Set-up was easy, though dragging/carrying an 80 pound box upstairs is exactly as you would expect. Off-gassing was minimal, had the windows open for the first 10-15 minutes, didn't really notice any odors that night. Wife and I are both side sleepers, so we went with the model recommended for side/occasional back sleepers. We both have been waking up with less joint pain and pressure point pain with the Nolah. Foam transfers far less movement to an adjacent sleeper and we found that to be true. We replaced a 6 year old innerspring, that, given our sleep styles, was likely too firm. Probably the result of a 5 minute store trial where neither of us laid on our side. Nolah did what they said they would in terms of delivery, etc. and the mattress does what they said it would.

Great value! Extremely comfortable and supportive!

Although I was looking at Purple and/or Nectar initially when considering to buy a mattress, I ultimately ended up going with Nolah. I perused several websites trying to read about different companies. While Nolah seems like it wasn't advertised as much as other companies, I still found some people talking about it and eventually decided to go with them. The shopping experience was quick and easy. Mattress was delivered less than a week within ordering. I really liked the fact that I got to choose an animal for Nolah to donate their proceeds to help preserve. They seem like a great company. Although I wasn't sure what to expect from the king mattress I purchased for only $850 (after promo discount), it turned out to be very comfortable and seems to be keep me cool at night (i'm generally a hot sleeper so this was very important to me). It is less firm than my previous queen mattress which is a memory foam mattress with cooling technology. Overall, I like the Nolah mattress better than my previous one which I spent $1,500. This was definitely a great investment.

Great mattress!

My Nolah mattress sleeps great, it did take a few nights to get use to not having springs in my side. I shopped many other mattress because I am a side sleeper, glad I chose Nolah. The mattress sleep nice, not hot which was a concern. Nolah need to make pillows to go with their mattress. Great customer service, thanks for answering all my question promptly.

Best. Mattress. Ever.

My wife has trouble staying asleep and both of us are warm sleepers. The Nolah agrees with us -- it doesn't get hot and we both sleep comfortably through the night. I have noticed a significant improvement in both our moods since we got it.

Best Mattress I have ever owned

Me and my wife love our Nolah Mattress. We previously had a memory foam mattress we bought online which was hard and uncomfortable. My wife would toss and turn all night and never had a good nights sleep. With the nolah mattress I'm happy to say my wife and I sleep much better and wake feeling relaxed.

Glad I tried the Nolah mattress

This was my first experience buying a mattress online and I have to say that the Nolah company made it a great experience! Their customer service has been terrific with prompt replies and great information. The bed is super comfortable and I got it because I wanted one a little softer for my side sleeping. However, I must sleep on my back more than I originally thought I did and I found the mattress to be a little too soft for my back sleeping. The mattress itself sleeps cool and is definitely quality construction. I'm actually sad to return it but I think I need something just a little firmer for me. That said, I have to problem recommending it and believe it would be perfect for many people!

A dilemma you'll welcome!

Most of my sleep time over the years has been via expensive big-name traditional mattresses. A few years ago I ventured into memory foam and that translated into some very bad sleep. What I found most aggravating was the cavity created when sleeping on the memory foam. It was so difficult to move between sleeping positions without falling into the "sleep hole" in unnatural ways. After several weeks of this, I went back to my old reliable. Well when I read about the more springy style of memory foam Nolah uses and saw the positive reviews online, I decided to give them a shot. I'm very glad I did! First off, no more "sleep holes" created. I can switch positions throughout with zero issues. I sleep on the mattress, not in it! Such a great experience! The mattress does not get hot either. It's easily twice as cool as the other memory foam was. In fact I find myself so naturally comfortable when I wake up in the morning on my Nolah that it is both easier and more difficult to get out of bed: I am more rested so ready to roll out and conqueror the day, but at the same time I am so comfortable I want another 15 minutes of sleep! I welcome this dilemma. :)

Good sleep and helps animals!

I had been sleeping on another online-only mattress with rave reviews, but was very uncomfortable at night. I am a side sleeper and my arm was going numb, I couldn't stop tossing and turning, and I was very disappointed. I ended up returning that other mattress within the 100-day trial period and heavily researched all the competitors. I saw a review that said Nolah was good for side sleepers, and I was also pleased to see that the company is involved in conservation. So, I pulled the trigger and purchased the mattress. It's definitely better than what I was sleeping on before. I don't have the same pain and I'm not tossing and turning. I'm glad that I made the switch!

Lower back pain disappeared!!!

I was nervous about buying a mattress online. What I found was it gave me time to compare customer ratings without the pressure of a salesperson. My bed is in the hottest room in the house but I have not been sweating! Also, my lower back pain has disappeared!! Love my Nolah!

Love the process

We shopped for mattresses for weeks before deciding to try an online mattress. Really liked the idea of the adopt an animal so we went with nolah! It's been great we have loved every night so far!
